The disease-gene network upon which the analysis was performed was constructed using IntAct Coronavirus data set that is annotated through DisGeNET [1]}. The IntAct Coronavirus data set was derived from the IntAct Molecular Interaction database which is a curated database for molecular interaction data [2]}. For annotation through DisGeNET, only human proteins which interact with members of the Coronaviridae family were taken into account. The disease-gene network was constructed [3]} as an undirected biparted graph \(G\)  (\(V_G\) , \(E_G\) ), where the 11,301 nodes (\(V_G\) ) represented 828 genes and 10,473 diseases, and the 70,210 edges (\(E_G\) ) represented disease-gene interactions. The network is a biparted graph as all edges connect the set of diseases with the set of human genes, with each edge representing an association from the IntAct Coronavirus data set.
